JohnReid Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Maybe it is too cutsy but I couldn't resist and kids love animals in storyboard dioramas. C|:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 In that scale with everything else going on there's no such thing as too cutesy! Kids will have a blast finding all the little details, and that one oughta thrill their little socks off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaC Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 aww kitties will win many hearts. story reminds me of my own childhood. The old rusty car does. We had an old Ford my dad called a 'hoopey'. He called the storage compartment the Whiskey Box. hahahha I kept making comments about a blimp landing on our property in Texas and no one paid attention. Finally, when I was 13 my dad called a brother in and asked him if this happened. He said not that he knew of but a small plane had. There were so many blimps flying in early 40's I am still not convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Uh, John, dioramas ARE miniatures and even if it's not specifically dollhouses it's a scale we use and techniques and items we may want in or around our houses. IMO it's all good, if you want to quote me in your appeal. Remember the PM system is still not back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
